St. Charles inmates arrested after leaving work release detail

St. Charles Parish Sheriff's deputies arrested a pair of work release inmates Saturday night after they left their work detail without permission.

Kentrell D. Watson, 27, of Shreveport and Vashon Sibley, 31, of 235 Crozat St. in New Orleans, were arrested and booked with failure to return from work release. Both are non-violent offenders in the state system, who are serving their sentences in St. Charles Parish, and both were assigned to a work release detail at the Golden Corral Restaurant in Kenner.

According to Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Pat Yoes, the pair were regularly dropped off and picked up there by a deputy. But when the deputy arrived to pick them up on Saturday evening, the men were not there.

"Apparently, they got off early and left," Yoes said. "We don't know where they went, but they had no business leaving."

The two later returned to the restaurant and were returned back to St. Charles parish jail, Yoes said. The two have been removed from the program, he said.
